For bodies are regenerate, but when the soul departs there's nought but weepin' angels; there Is nought but anguished hearts. A head once held erect will fall; an eye once keen will glaze; a guilty conscience shrinks, afraid, from unde- served praise. For though he sought with all his strength to win that longed-for goal, an’ gladly gave his body, gone is his eternal soul. Perhaps the end he sought was good: per- haps he tried too hard, but if, in tryin’, he forgot his soul it's dyin’, marred. But everlastin’ hope will live while beats the throbbin’ heart; it's been de- creed that while there's life no souls can e'er depart. There's always hope for penitence—to struggle on again an’ if the struggle’s honest then the fight won’t be in vain. But if death, sudden, seizes him, with Truth an' Right forgqt, there'll come the awful wail from out the depths: “He knew me not.” by the people who trusted not much him, as a man, but who trusi- ed one willing to be advised how to bring a change from the material troubles of the day and from the ques- tions of international affairs which have perplexed to a point of anxiety. And the people have trusted him be- cause the people believe he will listen to and heed the advice of others whom the voters, willingly acknowledging their ignorance and perplexity, believe will solve the great problems of the day in solemn conclave. Departing from the theoretical and down to the practical, the Republican victory was another object lesson in the wisdom of organization both of plan and execution. A plentiful supply of funds was a sine qua non. There is no intention to suggest that any improper use was made of those funds, but the fact remains that or- ganization, leadership, wisdom, back- ed by money, played H#s important part in the victory. And now comes the obligation to make concrete the indefinite promise of an association of nations. The people have relied on it; the world, the times, our own position demands it; it will come. In frank admission that the ideal was put in words with the aid of a Democratic President, mistaken as he may have been in many ways, Senator Harding and his advisors must carry on the work. Let them be too big to take from the man who made that ideal his own execu- tioner perhaps, the credit for keeping before the world an idealism that can and will be made practical. COMMUNICATED. AS TO THE BONUS, To the Editor of the Herald:— Dear Sir:— In answer to a communication in your columns written by one Mec- Kenna, charging that L Kkept silent at the American Legion convention when the matter of a state bonus came up for consideration, I just wish a little space to explain myself. To start off with, I wil say that I did not keep quiet as the “proverb- fal oyster” when we voted on the bonus question, and I can prove that by any of the delegation. Where could McKenna receive such an idea that I was silent when the vote came on the bonus question? On motion of Robert Vance, the Eddy-Glover Post oganized a state bonus activity committee, and went on record as favoring a bonus from the state. We went to the Bridgeport convention uninstructed, but we knew at this post wanted us to work for the bonus. I was with Robert Vance the night he framed the resolution which was defeated. The convention was supposed to have adjourned, it was way past time. The bonus resolution was 47th on the list for action, and the delegates were in no humor to fight the question out Vance did not speak, so I did not speak. We knew the resolution would be killed and Vance had whispered a scheme to me by which we could get that resolution adopted by the Legion in this state. The chair called for a vote and I yelled as loud as I could for the bonus. I lobbied for the bonus at the convention. I ask any fair minded ex-service man if I was silent on the bonus question.
